Oil + additive viscosity

Billbo said

Which oil do you use? The 15w50 or the 10w30. Also what kind of oil pressure do you get with each oil? I want to use a thinner oil but I am a bit concerned about dropping too low in pressure especially when you are cruising at about 3000 rpm and the pressure drops to about 48 - 50 psi. Also the noisier ( only sightly noisier) valve train I dont mind it if it doesnt cause problems. Have you or anyone noticed this with different viscocity oils?
